...
After leaving the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Xuan Hao quickly returned to Tian Dou City.
To find the remnant soul of the true dragon in the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, knowing only the general direction is not enough; you must find someone familiar with the inside story who can lead the way.
Looking for Yu Tianheng? That's clearly not appropriate.
That kid is, after all, the eldest son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If a fight breaks out on his territory and he beats up his elders in front of him, then they can't be friends anymore.
After much thought, there was only one perfect candidate – Liu Erlong.
She not only knew the way to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but also knew people there.
More importantly, she had absolutely no feelings for that arrogant and prejudiced family, and even hated them to the core.
She also harbored nothing but resentment towards her irresponsible adoptive father, Yu Luomian.
Therefore, if Liu Erlong takes him there, even if they end up fighting and ruining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory, she probably won't even flinch.
Having made up his mind, Xuan Hao didn't return to the hotel, but instead strolled directly to Blue Tyrant Academy.
Inside the dean's office.
Upon hearing that Xuan Hao had suddenly come, actually wanting her to lead the way to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Liu Erlong, who was processing files, frowned and instinctively showed strong resistance.
"No!" Liu Erlong refused without hesitation.
"I have already severed all ties with that cold-blooded family.
I will never go back in this lifetime. If you want to go, find someone to guide you yourself.
Don't bother me."
"Don't refuse so quickly." Xuan Hao pulled out a chair and swaggered down opposite her.
"What if... I asked you to come with me to wreck their place? Are you in or not?"
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, looking at him in a daze: "Disrupt the event?"
"yes!"
Xuan Hao leaned closer and confidently analyzed for her, "You've experienced it firsthand.
You know how terrifying my Golden Dragon Martial Soul's suppression of all dragon-type Martial Souls is in terms of bloodline.
Back when I had just broken through to the Soul Master level, I was able to overcome the two-ring gap and crush you, who was a Soul Emperor at the time."
"Now, I'm level 70. Although I haven't obtained my seventh spirit ring yet, with my current foundation and physical body, if I really go all out, my combat power in a head-on fight is definitely no weaker than most of the Spirit Masters on the continent."
Xuan Hao shrugged. "The most important thing is, how old am I?
If I went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to cause trouble, would those hot-tempered guys who play with electricity tolerate it?
But apart from that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen personally taking action to bully the weak, who else in their sect is my match?"
"Didn't you hate the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan the most?" Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow.
"Now I'll be your henchman for free and smash up their place for you. Isn't that a good deal?"
Liu Erlong's expression turned somewhat unnatural, and his eyes flickered:
"Help me get revenge?"
"If you need to, when we get there, I can drag that old guy Yu Luomian out and beat him up too."
Xuan Hao said, "Of course, but only if you take me with you.
And you have to show up."
"After all, if I were to go to someone else's territory alone as an outsider and cause trouble, it would be a provocation against the dignity of the entire sect.
I would easily be ganged up on by those old fogies, or even killed to silence me by Yu Yuanzhen's violent temper."
Xuan Hao stroked his chin and said in a serious tone, "But if you take me with you, the nature of the matter will be completely different!"
"The illegitimate daughter of the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, harboring resentment, returns with her promising young lover to wreak havoc on the family's affairs! This is a melodramatic family feud.
Just hearing this fills one with an extremely strong romanticism, so Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't dare to directly kill me, would he?"
Hearing the increasingly absurd plot developments, Liu Erlong was speechless and exclaimed, "Romantic my foot!
What nonsense are you spouting?
When did I become your lover, you little brat?"
"Oh, it's just a title, don't worry about the details."
Xuan Hao leaned forward, placing his hands on the desk, his gaze fixed intently on Liu Erlong's struggling eyes, and asked seriously, "I'll just ask you one question:
Do you want to go? If you do, let's go right now. I'm serious."
Liu Erlong looked at Xuan Hao, who was so close to her, her chest heaving slightly.
It would be a lie to say I didn't want to go.
Taking a monster that can crush its peers and even beat up the older generation, to wreak havoc on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's territory, and incidentally slap Yu Luomian's hypocritical face... Just hearing about this plan made her feel an indescribable sense of relief and satisfaction.
but...
Liu Erlong frowned, but reason prevailed: "Xuanhao, you're still too young.
Yu Yuanzhen, that old dragon, is a level 95 Title Douluo, and he has an extremely fiery temper.
What if something really happens and the situation gets out of control?"
She glared at Xuan Hao and said irritably, "Your connections are really complicated right now!
Not only are you closely associated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but you're also on friendly terms with that old poisoner Dugu Bo.
If something really happens to you at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, I don't know how much bloodshed will be unleashed in Heavenly Dou City!"
"Isn't it you I still have?"
Xuan Hao smiled nonchalantly, "If you're really worried about my safety, just keep an eye on me when we get there.
If any shameless old man gets really desperate and tries to kill me, then you should rush up and help stop him."
"Shall I help you?"
Liu Erlong was so angry at his shameless and self-righteous attitude that she laughed.
"I just want you to be pushed to the ground and beaten up by them!
You bastard, my Lanba Academy has collected such high protection fees every year, and you have almost wiped out my family fortune!
You are just a bandit who takes advantage of the situation!"
Hearing Liu Erlong say this, Xuan Hao did not refute it. Instead, he casually reached into his pocket, pulled out a black crystal card, and slammed it on the desk with a "smack".
"Here, this is the protection fee we've collected from your Blue Tyrant Academy over the past few years, totaling nearly 400,000 gold soul coins.
With this black card, you can go directly to any bank under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to exchange it for the full amount."
Xuan Hao pushed the black card in front of Liu Erlong, shrugged, and said casually, "I haven't touched a single penny of this money.
If you really can't forget about this protection fee and feel the pinch, I'll give it back to you now."
Looking at the black card on the table, representing enormous wealth, Liu Erlong's anger instantly froze, and his expression became somewhat unnatural: "Give...give it back to me?"
"That's exactly right."
Xuan Hao leaned back in his chair and explained matter-of-factly,
"Collecting protection money is just a hobby for me. To put it bluntly, I just enjoy the pleasure and sense of accomplishment that comes from 'making money' and 'robbing'.
As for whether the money is a lot or a little, I'm not really that interested."
"After all, I don't really have any channels to spend money.
I find the extravagant and decadent lifestyle of those nobles in Tiandou City meaningless.
My biggest expense is just taking Na'er out for a nice meal to improve our diet."
"But I still have over a million gold soul coins in my own hands, which is enough for me to eat and drink to my heart's content.
Since this 400,000 is making you so upset, just take it back."
Liu Erlong stared at the black card on the table for a long time, but in the end, he didn't reach out to take it.
"Take it back. There's no way you can get back the protection money you've paid."
Liu Erlong took a deep breath and pushed the black card back to Xuan Hao, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Although she has a fiery temper, it doesn't mean she's immature.
Over the years, Xuan Hao claimed to be there to collect "protection money," acting like a bandit taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
But in reality, this bastard actually did his job after taking the money!
He easily dealt with the usual harassment from local thugs and pressure from nobles at Blue Tyrant Academy; he even helped to properly arrange the cultivation issues of the commoner students in the academy, as well as their future prospects after graduation, through the "Heavenly Fighting Self-Improvement Association" that he founded.
Although this bastard acts like a rogue, he is indeed an extremely reliable partner.
If she really gets those 400,000 gold soul coins back today, then Blue Tyrant Academy will owe this bastard an enormous favor that they can never repay.
"Keep the money safe."
Liu Erlong looked at Xuan Hao again, her previously furrowed brows relaxing, a resolute glint in her eyes:
"However, if you really want to cause trouble at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for the sake of our friendship over the years, I might as well accompany you on this trip."
"However!" Liu Erlong's tone suddenly shifted, becoming extremely forceful, "I have one condition!"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What conditions?
As long as it's not about me giving up on causing trouble, anything is negotiable."
"Call me 'sister'!"
Liu Erlong slammed her hands on the table, glaring down at him, and said through gritted teeth, "What kind of bullshit romantic little lover is this?
Don't you dare ruin my reputation!
I don't want to be called a perverted 'old cow eating young grass' behind my back!"
"When we get back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if anyone asks, I'll just say you're my adopted younger brother!"
Liu Erlong crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "If you won't even call me 'sister,' then you can go and get beaten up by those old dragons!"
